Originally launched in 2011 as the pinnacle of performance-running technology, the 860v2 blends slick retro with undeniably space-age style. Crafted with a breathable mesh base, the upper is layered with black-threaded silver leather while a sculpted ‘N’ logo lands on the laterals above a lightweight fabric. A rubberized New Balance logo is stamped on the tongue while underfoot we find an ABZORB midsole layered above an SBS Heel insert and N-ergy rubber outsole.
